Lebanon’s official currency is the Lebanese Lira LBP. Lebanon faced in the previous years currency fluctuations with its local currency. If you’re coming to Lebanon, you must bring US Dollars with you. The USD must be clean, new, not stained, and not ripped because most of the places won’t accept those dollars. In addition, credit cards are not applicable to most of the time due to the currency crisis. In case you run out of money, you can always use Western Union transfer to yourself inside the country of what’s called OMT. However, please note that the charges vary between 5 to 8% depending on the amount of money.
